"Deadly Blast on Oil Pipeline in Mexico's Puebla State"

"At least 28 people have been killed and many others injured in an oil pipeline explosion in central Mexico, officials say.

The blast in a town in Puebla state was apparently caused by thieves attempting to steal fuel from the pipeline.

Oil gushed through the streets and caught fire, destroying homes and cars and forcing hundreds of people to flee."

BBC News had the story December 19, 2010.
